After a late comeback effort fell short Tuesday night, the Great Lakes Loons did not have a chance to keep momentum on their side in the second game of a six-game series. Wednesday’s contest at Day Air Ballpark in Dayton, Ohio, originally scheduled for 7:05 p.m., has been postponed due to inclement weather and wet grounds.
The two teams will play a doubleheader Thursday at Day Air Ballpark to make up the contest. Game one will start at 5:30 p.m., with the second game beginning approximately half an hour after the conclusion of the first game. Each contest will be seven innings, per rules introduced to Minor League Baseball last season.
Both teams have scheduled the same starting pitcher as was originally tabbed to throw Wednesday. The Loons have right-hander Ben Casparius (0-0, 6.00 ERA) opposing Dayton southpaw Evan Kravetz (3-0, 4.74 ERA). Game two will feature Loons righty Nick Nastrini (0-2, 5.52 ERA) against right-hander Thomas Farr (0-1, 5.40 ERA). Catch all the action in both contests on ESPN 100.9-FM, with pregame coverage starting at 5:15 p.m. with the Loons On-Deck Circle, driven by Garber Chevrolet Midland.

Dow Diamond serves as the team’s home and also houses the Michigan Baseball Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit public charity, and ESPN 100.9-FM.
